The Best Healthy Pumpkin Recipes
Hands down, the BEST pumpkin recipes ever, and with a healthy twist! From muffins, smoothies, pie and bars, there are options for all- Paleo, vegan, gluten free, sugar free and dairy free alternatives!
When the clock strikes midnight, this blog will turn into a pumpkin….
Fiesta.
G’day guys! I am beyond stoked that ‘Pumpkin Week’ was welcomed with open arms and beta carotene glows! Since the first recipe was shared, it made my black heart skip reading all your emails and comments across social media at how excited you were to see pumpkin recipes.
I’m not going to lie- Amanda and I were both a little apprehensive in regards to the timing of it.
“Are we too early?”
“Are people still melting in the heat?”
Then again, there is no written rule about when pumpkin recipes can be shared and honestly, next year I will make a pumpkin ice cream, and share it in July.
So there.
To keep the pumpkin momentum going, I’ll be recapping the pumpkin recipes the two us shared this week. Not only that, I’ve collected some other delicious pumpkin recipes to make sure YOU are ‘Oompah Loompah’ status by the end of the month.
Just kidding.
By the end of this week.
PS- You’ll be in for a treat from the both of us next week, pumpkin style!
Let’s jump into it!
3 Ingredient Flourless Pumpkin Brownies via The Big Man’s World
With no butter, oil, flour, grains or sugar, these brownies are ALMOST too good to be true…but not. Rich, fudgy and made with wholesome ingredients, just go and faceplant the whole pan.
Dairy Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer via Running With Spoons
Starbu-Who? Say goodbye to your sugar laden creamers- This pumpkin spiced option is based around coconut cream and…..dun dun dun. Pumpkin.
Your morning brew will thank you.
Pumpkin Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cookies which are Fall inspired AND perfectly acceptable for breakfast AND have chocolate chips too? I think these should be called ‘Armookies’.
Healthy No Bake Pumpkin Spice Latte Bites via The Big Man’s World
All the flavors of a pumpkin spice latte in a healthy no bake bite! Not only that, it comes with a protein-packed option too. Just call them the PWOP.
Post-workout-Pumpkin.
One Bowl Greek Yogurt Pumpkin Bread via Running With Spoons
I think this picture is the leaning tower of Pisa…in edible form. Who wants to reach through their screen for a slice?
I do.
Cream Cheese Filled Pumpkin Bread via Averie Cooks
I dare you not to purposely shot-gun a middle slice. Why? Those are the ones LOADED with cream cheese.
Thick and Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes via The Big Man’s World
Dining tables are overrated. Eating pumpkin pancakes ON actual pumpkin? That’s what I’m talking ABOUT.
Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oatmeal Smoothie via Running With Spoons
“You shouldn’t drink your calories!”
Stop it, you’ll drink this and say thank you.
Paleo Pumpkin Bars via Hummusapien
I was unfortunate fortunate enough to personally sample these beauties fresh from the oven…after a day. They were delicious and need to make your menu!
Pumpkin Caramel Cheesecake Bars via Chelsea’s Messy Apron
Paired with the pumpkin cream cheese bread (see above), I think I will OD on cream cheese after these bars.
I don’t mind one single bit.
Healthy Pumpkin Cookie Dough via The Big Man’s World
A thick and creamy cookie dough dip with hints of pumpkin. Confession- This totally made it on my breakfast rotation.
Flourless Pumpkin Pie Muffins via Running With Spoons
No flour in these muffins, but you’d never be able to tell- I mean, look at them!
Paired with a coffee spiked with the above creamer, you’ll be in beta-carotene heaven! Get ready to dunk these beauties in there!
Perfect Paleo Pumpkin Pie via Paleo Running Momma
How do you know this pie is perfection? Michele took a bite of it before shooting. This will be made before, during and after Thanksgiving.
4 Ingredient Pumpkin Fudge via The Big Man’s World
4 Ingredients in this smooth and creamy fudge- None of them are condensed milk, dairy or granulated sugar!
Greek Yogurt Pumpkin Banana Bread via Running With Spoons
Banana fans, it’s been hidden in this gorgeous loaf. Bananas, pumpkin and bread, oh MY.

There is NOTHING wrong with having pumpkin ALL. YEAR. LONG. I was on a kabocha high in the spring, haha! I absolutely adore this lineup of recipes. Gotta get some kabocha now!
🙂 Love it!
This is a great roundup of pumpkin recipes! And I am ready for that beta carotene glow! Lol
😀 It’s times like these I’m so thankful for being naturally tan!
Thanks – I have to make 6 of these recipes…since I make most of Amanda’s and your recipes – Arman! – you two are incredible!!!
😀 You are the best! Amanda and I appreciate your support!
I’m in for pumpkin all year long. As long as you fly over and make these recipes for me. I’ll pay in Swiss Cheese and chocolate and believe me, it is the real shit. Seriously, I love the look of the balls (of course) – totally pinned it. I’ll as Meghan to make them for me. While I am having a pumpkin mojito. (make a recipe please)
Love, I will make you any recipe you want..We can have a pumpkin raclette.
oh my heavens… where do I even start? I’m ready. Bring all this to me please. mmm k? PUMPKIN PALOOZA!!
I will make you a pumpkin aquafaba gown.
Ok my family and I agree that we are officially adopting you. Beta-carotened skin and all.
If you don’t adopt me, I will throw a brownie made of camels at you.
Hehe love this so much. I think it’s a TAD too early but who am I kidding I already made a pumpkin recipe two weeks ago, and I’m going to make another one tonight 😛
Love it! Pimp those pumpkins out!
Pumpkin is a great ingredient to reduce inflammation! These recipes look mouthwateringly delicious! Thanks. 🙂
Thanks, Jim!
What a delicious way to get ready for the upcoming pumpkin madness! I say we make one of these recipes each day and then see how long it takes for us to turn into a pumpkin. I put the over/under at 8 days. By my count, that’s a lot of deliciousness before I turn into a gourd. I think I can handle it! 🙂
YES!!!! Embrace the pumpkin goodness!
What a delicious looking recipe roundup! I definitely need to make at least half of these this fall 🙂 Some years I’m not into pumpkin until November, but this year I already have been craving it. I have an open can of pumpkin in my fridge just begging to be used in one of these recipes!
i’ll save this menu in my mind, so that next week in every-morning my kids will have their own healthy breakfasts.
many thanks from me. 🙂
🙂 Yay! Let’s hope we all won’t turn into pumpkins at midnight 😉
